"

When I called I expected to schedule a service call for the coming week, but the gentleman who answered the phone (the owner of the company) asked me a few diagnostic questions and walked me through a bit of troubleshooting involving the application of WD-40 in a specific way into the lock. He completely solved the problem with a five minute phone call. I offered to send them a check for their time, but he declined and gave me some advice for maintaining my locksets.

I am extremely impressed that they would help me fix the problem so quickly at no charge rather than schedule a service call and charge me. I will definitely use Quality Locksmith Service in the future when I have any lock-related needs! Thank you!

"These guys are awesome!! Eli installed a keypad lock for my disabled daughter’s new apartment. He was prompt, professional, friendly, and devoted to making sure my lock worked and that I was happy with the result. He walked me through the instructions and made sure the lock worked as it should before leaving. I knew his schedule was really busy but he made me feel like I was the only customer he had that day. I was able to schedule the work a week in advance. Eli called before arrival to let me know he was in the way and arrived right on time. I will definitely hire Green Locksmith again!!"

"Locksmith made several duplicate keys. Work was well done and all keys worked very well. Additionally, locksmith reported if the keys did not work out, he was able to come home (at no extra cost) to re-make duplicate sets. Keys work, and very pleased with result.

(Before we found Oakdale Locksmiths via Angie's List,  we had tried with several other locksmiths.  None of those other locksmiths' keys worked)"

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Lubricating a door lock is an important part of door lock maintenance. It involves taking the lubricant of your choice (it’s best to use whatever the lock’s manufacturer suggests) and spraying it directly into the keyway. Push and pull your key in and out of the lock to make sure it’s all the way in. 

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.

Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door.
